Today’s episode of the TiLT Parenting Podcast s a continuation of last week’s episode with executive functioning coach Seth Perler, which was so packed full of information (and also so long) that I had to break it up into two separate episodes, which I’m now referring to as a “masterclass” in executive functioning.

In last week’s episode, Seth shared his protocol for setting up a child for success in their developing executive functioning skills. In today’s episode, Seth is going to get into the nitty gritty about specific strategies he uses to address different executive functioning challenges that show up in school and in life. Seth also takes the time to answer a few questions from listeners that I gathered via Twitter and Facebook.

As he said during our conversation, taking all of this in is a little bit like drinking from a firehouse…there is a lot of useful content and it’s a lot absorb. So listen to this more than once if you need to, take notes, and definitely head over to Seth’s website at sethperler.com and check out all the fantastic videos and articles and other resources he has available. Helping kids with executive functioning challenges is Seth’s passion, and he’s really good at what he does. I’m grateful to be able to share his wisdom with our community.

He helps struggling students navigate a crazy educational landscape and does his part to “disrupt” and improve education. Seth specializes in Executive Function and 2e.

Debbie,
The two Mastermind Class Podcasts were so, so helpful. I will be listening again and again. Loved the steps of Frankenstudy as well as many other simple, yet crucial, tips. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
